London, Aug. 10.

Following an exchange of letters appended to the recent Anglo- German transfer agregment, pexo- tiations have been concluded in Berita for an exchange agreement between the two countries. This agreement was signed in Berlin to-day and comes into force an August 201

The agreement, is designed to promote current trade transac- tions between the two countries. and it relates to debts falling due on or after August 20 next. The procedure to be followed provides that German firms holding a general exchange permit ·under the agreement, which is to-nigut published as a White Paper, and United Kingdom firms holding a general exchange permit under the German exchange regulations, may insofar as the sums foreign exchange allotted are in- suncient to pay for imports, make payment in Reichsmarks into a special account with the Reichs- bank in respect of certain goods, and subject to the general limit

laid down in the agreement.

Special Bank Account

an

The Treasury has requested the Bank of England to open a special account with the Relchabank for the purpose of the agreement.

Reichsbanks will be sold for the account of the creditor concerned, in chronological order of receipt, into the special account. The Bank of England will sell such Reichsmarks at their discretion, subject to specified provisions, and will credit the beneficiaries with. the sterling proceeds, leas a charge of one-eighth per cent. The agreement has been drawn up on the same ines as a number of other agreements concluded-be- tween Germany and other coun tries.

It has been made clear, as 'a result of discussions on the matter in Berlin, that any debt in respect of which payments are made through the special account con- stituted under such agreement, is discharged only to the extent of the actual proceeds of the Reichs- marks paid in by the debtor.

Article 3 of the agreement pro- vides that the special account.may be utilised in respect of goods produced or manufactured in the United Kingdom, or goods which have been processed in the United Kingdom.
